So, I’ve had this build worm in my brain for over a month now, but if I can’t actualize it in the app/site, I don’t want to spend the money on the digital content…
A half Minotaur, half Aasimar Druid/Artificer with a mechanical menagerie(think original Clash of the Titans) that have enchantments and practical abilities, with a sometimes companion/steed with an minor augmentation/enhancement, plus two enchanted self body augmentations.
Is this possible or some fever dream that will plague me forever, lol?
You can homebrew it but there is no way to do that RAW. Steeds are only available via 5 levels of Paladin, Artificers don't really enhance their non-PC companions very effectively, and half-Minotaur/hal-Aasimar doesn't exist.
Well, yes homebrew is implied as I have chosen that forum to post in, but with using the home brew content with all books/resources unlocked on the Beyond site/app, is creating this character possible? I can always mock up something on paper, but my question is specifically for the digital creation/use.

For digital creation, you would want to make a HB Artificer subclass, one or more HB monster statblocks for your menagerie, and a HB species.
The only thing that is not possible is to make your menagerie automatically scale with your character level.
Alternatively, if you want to simplify, choose the Aasimar species, then make yourself a HB feat for what you want from Minotaur, then take the Battlesmither Subclass and just change the spells it gets auto-prepared to include Find Familiar, Conjure Animals, Find Steed, and Summon Construct. Or you don't even need to bother to alter the Battlesmith Subclass, you can just create a HB feat that gives you those spells and add that as a free feat.
Awesome! Thank you so much. I honestly had placed my mechanical menagerie in fixed stats anyway only anticipating repairs vs upgrades, and I’m super cool using bio animal stats as far as hp/speed/vision. I’m not trying to do impossible op with them like jet boosters or Megazord size. Only a couple would even have flight magic just to help lighten their metal bodies, but they are modeled after “existing” flying creatures. Another would have the magic of the imbued item it’s made from, but anything else would be practical and or manufactured. The large bio animal, which is more of a sometimes companion than a steady steed would be bound to all RAW stats with only having a couple non magical augmentations that would probably only add +1 to either type of attack. As far as the PC herself, I’m also not planning to try and stack as much of abilities/feats from either heritage so much as I think the flavor of the blend adds to the theme, and I think the adaptation of containing her wings as magical tattoos is my flare of character. She uses a push button augmented forge/war hammer as her main, and telescoping horns(naturals were broken during a flight crash into the mountains at a younger age) as her augmented natural weapon.
